Been waiting for several months to get time to spend at Giada and was very disappointed. Reserved time and arrived 45 minutes early to a rather empty place. Sat on waiting couches for the entire time and finally went to bar to get service. That was extremely slow! Finally seated at table, napkin unfolded revealed a 1 inch hole in it. Waitress spilled water onto table when initially serving with minimal wiping. Antipasti tasting was very nice with cheeses, olives and a tomato tapanade. Margarita pizza and grilled cheese served hot and excellent. Chicken meatballs in marsala was served cold....why????? Its a hot appetizer!! No excuse, just re-served a little warm, and not really hot! Wait staff inattentive..lunch not worth the ambiance or the cost! Checked off the bucket list without recommendation to the public. Giada...you should not be proud to have your name attached to this place.
